You really can't blame SWERY. The game sold 40(?)-50k. They need to release it on PC to recoup some of the losses at least.

Sunset Overdrive will be next. Quote this post.

Maybe not PS4 because Microsoft Studios published and funded the game's development.

Consider that lot of Xbox One digital games are seeing their PC release on Windows 10 with cross-buy support for XBO/Win10 -- easy way for MS to push their new platform, and also come up with a compelling alternative to Valve's Steam Monopoly.

As nice as a PS4 release would be for those without a PC or One, it just isn't feasible.

Re: Last comment

Deadly Premonition's development had nothing to do with Microsoft, it was a third party game which was originally multiplatform -- the original Japanese release (called Red Seeds Profile) was released on 360 and PS3.

When Aksys Games decided to bring it to the west, they only brought the 360 version over. Then the Director's Cut happened by way of Rising Star Games. Neither Microsoft or Sony put a penny in the game's development, marketing or publishing.

D4, by comparison, is by all intents and purposes a first-party Microsoft game, 100% published, marketed and funded by Microsoft Studios.

Now, if you were Microsoft and you just invested a lot of money into your game, you're not exactly going to release that game on the PS4, especially when you have old Windows and Windows 10 to port your game to. It'd be like expecting Sony to put Journey on Xbox 360 back in the PS3 days.

While I too think it'd be great for D4 to land on as many platforms as possible, it's just not going to happen. I hope the PC version supports Kinect though, as apparently D4 is one of the few games that is "better with Kinect".

Edit: I find it amusing that this post received a disagree -- I'm not sure how you can disagree with facts, but there you go. The only part of my post which is opinion is the final paragraph...

Only the first episode so far, which included the prologue and a couple of chapters I think?

It's an odd one for me, because I only play episodic games when the final episode releases. I prefer to have the whole thing available to play at my own pace. I paid for D4 anyway and haven't played it at all. I know Microsoft are all about the numbers so there won't be any more episodes if it flops.

I hope we get some confirmation that more episodes are in development, as I've seen no signs of it yet.

Microsoft games don't end up on PS4 they end up on PC for good reasons Windows is a Microsoft product been one. Stop begging for x box 1 games for PS4 its sad. Get a PC or x box 1 to play them and stop the crying.

disgaeapuchi@ Some people who frequent N4G are not thoughtful or rational they are not brainy or even logical facts escape them. They may be younger than 16 and have know world experience. Just ignore the disagrees you not going to find a lot of rocket scientists posting here.

@ KryptoniteTail

I kinda called it. When the game was playable with an Xbox controller from day one, why would you keep an already niche game exclusive to a console where it supposedly underwhelmed in sales? Swery deserves a larger audience for his unique ideas.

I'm half expecting Insomniac to announce a PS4 version of Sunset Overdrive with all the DLC after they've released Ratchet Redux later this year, based on its sales performance and the fact that they own the IP (why else, eh?). I've never seen so many platform exclusives go to another platform so quickly.

@ KNWS

It's not port begging when it's common sense prediction.

Dude, how's this logic for you? Some people who frequent N4G are not honest and completely make up lies based on paper-thin sources or nothing but their personal assumptions to try and expose things that cannot be exposed. They may be making up all these things because they are bitter or have buyers remorse or are simply too attached to a brand to see clearly. Luckily most people disagree with those kinds of people on here. And you know how often you've been exposed on here, so I don't know where your holier than thou attitude stems from.

And yeah.... you can play PC games on Linux.

Maybe in 2025 going by Blizzards release history :P
